Hello,
I believe that I remember seeing this in an older posting, but have been unable to find it. I have a Vista 20P. I would like to set it up so that it will monitor the phone line. Being that this is the alarms weakest point, I am looking to have it set off the alarm if the phone line is cut. Can someone let me know how to go about this?
Thank you

That's going to be in field *92. The first segment sets the number of minutes of phone voltage loss before the system reacts. The second is where you program what it does when it detects loss of telco.
Depending on your local wiring, you may need to have the earth ground properly connected (terminal 25) for this to work correctly.
